Extended External Battery - Galaxy Note II Accessories

This looks like an interesting approach on external batteries for Galaxy NOTE 2.
I am a bit disappointed since I am sure is blocking NFC and may beloved wireless charging. I may give it a try for the times when traveling...
Here is the LINK . (later edit) I have found a BLACK version, different in design . Link is HERE

I had a case that was somewhat similar for my iPhone 3, it was the Mophie Juice Pack Air. I liked it and it definitely came in handy on more than one occasion. I'm kinda interested in this case, thanks for the heads up.

I think I am a bit damaged. First thing I think of when seeing this case "hey, that's a way to save the microUSB plug from wear and tear". My three latest phones of the last 6 years all did develop contact issues after a year or two, no matter how careful I was (too much charging, flashing and modding I guess)
That said, this don't look too bad. Slightly skeptical about quality, both in terms of fit/materials and the battery itself. Not necessarily a bad concept though.

I like the idea. Too bad there probably are next to no protective cases for it. Double the battery is always a good thing though.

well
is a case and a battery. that's the whole idea.

Nothing but bad reviews about those external battery packs. :thumbdown:

Unfortunately the case gives no protection. Even worse. It makes the device heavier, which means that when it falls on its face, you won't have to check if the glass is shattered. (Yes, that's what happened with my HTC One X!!)

You are exactly right. These battery packs only give a tiny portion of the juices the device needs. Furthermore, the device thinks it's on mains power, so the power savings etc. are not running.
This means the device uses more juice while it does not get it all, so the battery of the unit will not fill up, but run down almost as fast as when no battery pack is connected.

Guys, just get a portable charger. I'm gonna get one for myself.

I would like to put one of this external battery case in to the universal gameklip, which one do u recomend me?
Thanks!!

It blocks s-pen, and makes Note 2 even longer due to that battery extension. I haven't used it, just commenting about the picture. Plus, you will get only 3200 mAh of actual charge on it because conversion through usb connection will make it drop by about 30% due to inefficiency.

Looks good but cost USD 27. But not sure how this one working. I am now using the portable charger for my note II LTE (using the charger previously on my S3). I wanted to know who has the experience of using this battery from this website, how is this battery and the battery cover feel??? Does it look stupid???
Why not just carry a spare battery. This makes the phone huge.
Always open the housing cover to change battery is too trouble. Also, no battery charger that can charge the battery alone, need to get the empty battery into my phone and charge it is annoying!!!

Yeah boi...I'm looking to get me an extended battery as well. Have always used them and let me tell you, it is sweet having 2-3 days of use without having to worry about a charger. This phone is big already so having an extended battery isn't going to change that issue too much. Besides, it'll help with not snapping phone in half like someone did for their S3...OUCH!!!

I didn't counted it. But my Note II is always on during office hour. Many calling in. Also will used to check email and play game or video when I am having meeting outside (Play it during the traveling of course, :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed, I think it is about at least 5.5 hours for my office hour and only consume 30-35% power which is really good.
Evening time, my phone is mainly using for text msg and gaming (but gaming at evening is not usual) and a little calls. Until bed time, the battery still got 40-45%. That make me feel safe for able to not stay attached with the wall plug. :cyclops::cyclops:

Yea people who just do regular music listening a bit of browsing , calls dont need this as the stock battery easily gets throug the day , but may be of use for travellers and heavy gamers,,
Thanks for posting, I have similar on my GSIII LTE from day 1.
Very handy.
I hope it will be available in Europe for the GNII.
How do you get to the s-pen?

A lot of these cases have an extra silo. But it would probably defeat the purpose of the sound and spen detection setting.
I think I'm going to have this phone for awhile so I can wait another couple of weeks for one that has the s-pen slot. I find myself using it at the most random of times.
Not only dose it seen to cover the S pen but also the back speaker.
I bought a second battery from Samsung website with the 50% off code someone posted here. I haven't needed it yet, but on the rear occasion I do it will be a simple solution. For now I just switch them out every few days.
All ,
yes its a bit annoying for removing the Spen but not very difficult for people who rarely use ( i use all the time though ) it covers up the space , however speaker is not compromisd as there is a opening for the speaker , but yes S pen is a bit annoying to remove as you will need to slide the fone out .. this s not a hard case so not a tough job to open the phone up from the case...
Might get one of these if they make a little higher quality product with little lower price. Hate the LED lights, on/off switch, no hole for stylus. Most of these need to be charged separately and are usually less than 1000mah.

yea the LEDs are bit too bright , but I found the battery pretty decent not excellent though they charged my phone fom 49% to 100 % in about 1 hour not sure if it can full 3000 MAH havent tested that , the stylus missing out is defnitely a disadvantage...
I was just about the post this, found it on ebay for 28. But no spen and yes the speaker which is covered up was the deal breaker for me. Guess I'll just wait for Samsung's wireless charging.

I have (well had, untill I dropped and shattered the screen) the T-Mobile version of the Note 2, and last week, was on holidays at Disney etc.. the day started at about 8 am, and then, I'd use it non stop, navigation, web browsing, phone calls... really put the phone to use and by the end of the day, still had citca 35% left - this is the first Android smartphone I've had where I'm comfortable with the battery life. the stock battery is more than man enuff for the phones features.
Anyone find a better charging case than this?

Review: InfiniApps Magnet Car Mount

Got this a few days ago for $30 on ebay and love it. I honestly couldn't go with anything other than magnetic - it's so easy and convenient to just quickly sit your phone against the mount or pull it back for texting at a light, etc. There really isn't much to say since the concept is pretty simple. The suction base works well on my textured dash and the magnet grips well. I haven't used it on a race track or anything but I don't take corners or always accelerate super slow either and the phone never budges. It's also great that the dock works with any phone so if you share your car or get a new device, you don't have to change mounts or have more than one. The only way it could be improved is if it had wireless charging built in too (though for verizon versions this wouldn't help most). But the phones battery is good enough that it shouldn't need to be plugged in for any trips that aren't very long anyways.
Also, I recommend the free app "IntelliScreen" with this. The app makes it so the screen won't timeout when certain apps are up on the screen (and it does some other stuff too). I made it so the music and maps app don't timeout so that I don't have to constantly hit the screen button while driving to see and control things.

I'm not positive but when the phone is put around half an inch from it or so, it easily sticks to the mount. It's not strong enough where it's difficult to pull off, but I actually believe I could go to a race track and record video from my phone's camera while it is on the mount and not have any problems with it moving/falling. I had seen the imagnet at first on amazon and was going to get that, but this one doesn't look like it's an iphone accessory so I won't have people asking/thinking I have an iphone that I give rides to, if I don't put my phone on it.

I didn't think of the spen because I don't ever really use it. I just tried it out and it doesn't work where the magnet is. However, it's so quick to take it off the mount and imo it's a lot more convenient to write/draw on it in your hand, so it shouldn't be a problem for a lot of people if not most. Navigation and everything else still works though.
I will also get a picture of the phone on the mount tonight.

Probably identical products, owned by the same parent company, selling under dual brands. It increases market exposure.

Massive Battery Drain on Reboot

Recently, I've been having massive battery drain on reboots. Is this a calibration issue? I'm currently on the 4/15 build of CM10, but was previously on Slimbean 4.1 2/25 build. It was happeneing on that build as well. It just dropped from 55% to 12% after the reboot...Also, my battery is slightly bloated, it can't really be seen visually, but you can feel it. Are these two correlated? Should I get a new battery?

Your battery is fried, time for a new one, whenever you have swelling, its the number one sign that your battery is dead. Soon you won't be able to use your phone without it being connected to a charger.

I too have had this issue with the SlimBean, I believe it to be from the "Fast USB Charge" function.
Since it has to be replaced anyways, any suggestions for Extended Batteries?

I got this one and its pretty nice:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009PGTUFQ
It's 2050mah so not too much more than stock but still good. I bought it because it doesn't require a special battery cover. Lasts me all day with decent (sometimes excessive) use. And it looks cool in red haha.

Thanks for the info, I've seen that one, but I think that I'm going to go with this one: EZO Power since I'm never very far from a charger. (battery troubles will cause you to carry one or keep them everywhere. LOL)
i have 3 at home, one in the car and 2 at work
Ive just started running AOIP, and I have experienced the massive drain on reboot. so the consensus is its a battery issue?
When ever you have battery issues like that it is you battery. Soon you will notice random reboot accompanied by massive battery drain. Then you will have to have your phone plugged in just to use it, you will also start to notice swelling. I recommend you get another before it gets this bad. Trust me having to have your phone plugged in 24/7 is not fun

I am familiar with the battery swell, my previous samsung flip phone (RIP) had some massive battery swell. I was scared it was going to explode in my face.:good:

Magnetic Charge/Sync cable

So it has already started, people are loosing and damaging their cradles already. This is going to create a need for a new cradle or another way to charge and sync the unit.
Ever since I first opened the box to my gear I wondered WTF Samsung was thinking with this cradle. There has to be a better way, and hopefully I have found one.
On the back of the watch are 2 small screws. My goal is to use 2 tiny magnets to hold a cable to the back side of the watch via these screws. This will make the cable MUCH smaller and no longer require a massive case to be carried around.
Current status:
Contacted a few companies and have a few different connectors coming in to see what will connect best.
PCB design will all depend on the connector we go with
V1 case design is already started for the housing. I will be printing a few samples out with a makerbot in a week or so and will post up
I hope to have an entire v1 test unit done within the next week or 2. I would have this done earlier but I have a massive fluid mechanics midterm tomorrow then will be heading out of town for the rest of the week for work. I should be back in town on Saturday and will be sitting in front of the makerbot and a soldering iron all day. Please stay tuned for updates.
Also all criticism is welcome, tell me what you think, the only thing I ask is to make it constructive. If you think this is a stupid idea because it will not work for some reason, let me know and why. I am a mechanical engineer with a concentration in structural analysis. I know only what I have taught myself about electronics so I admit I dont know as much as many others.
***UPDATES***​
10/31/2013
Currently working on getting sync capabilities working. I have a feeling Samsug did 1 of 2 things
1. Chip requirement like apples cables to allow sync
2. Power on data line
Either way this weekend I should be able to get the sync feature working or at least have parts on order to do so. First run on the spring loaded contact pins were pretty good, but I am going to need something longer. Once the case goes over the PCB board they will no longer be able to connect with the back of the watch. Here is what I am working with at the moment.

Points for effort !
Got the 1st set of spring pins connectors in. They work but will not be long enough once a case is designed for the unit. Back to ordering more $0.08 1/16" pins!
Try to check the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2493181&page=5
Pins which You found seems to be very nice and will work well, but regarding the magnetic mounting - check if the screws are magnetic - if they are stainless steel (which they almost for sure are) they will not be magnetic... so this will not hold... the other issue is if the watch has sensors inside they may not like the strong magnetic field...
Can't wait to be able to buy one lol

Depends, not all stainless steel is the same. Depends on the blend. Some are quite magnetic.
